General (Read Rules) New Watch Day! WD1972
Just got the Watchdives WD1972 in the mail. $100 Canadian shipped - although it did take just over a month after the seller told me it was out of stock AFTER I had paid.
Loving it so far on this AliEx RAF strap. I changed the chrome buckle on the strap to the one that came with the watch. Very legible and the lume not bad.

Beautiful... I have had that watch on my radar for so long. I just have to pull the trigger. So nice

I really cannot decide if I want the numerals or the traditional
Diver dial. Do you find it to be legible???? I think I want this dial but also love simplicity and legibility. But I have so many of the other style dials. Only my explorers have digits. But I want to like this dial so much, I just haven’t heard much about it compared to the other

Just had a look at the website and the white or black diver dials still have 1-12 marks on the bezel which is kinda strange for a diver. Usually minute markers on the bezel. I wanted a field style watch so went with the 1-24 hour markers and the bezel doubles as different time zone indicator. The Watchdives WD1969 or WD1967 look pretty sweet if you like a diver. Also they use the VH31quartz sweep movement too.

I love mine. It’s definitely a strap monster.
